I want to show feedback to the user when he tries to connect two nodes.
There are some conditions under which connections are disallowed. I
check for these conditions inside Command.canExecute() and inside the
getConnectionCreateCommand() and getConnectionCompleteCommand() methods
of NodeEditPolicy. When any of the conditions fail, I want to show a
popup indicating the reason for failure. I have read some posts here
which indicate that showSourceFeedback() and showTargetFeedback() could
be used. But my problem how do I know which condition failed inside
these methods.
In my implementation there is a separate class, ConnectionValidator
that determines if a connection is valid. The static methods of this
class are called from canExecute() and methods of NodeEditPolicy. I
certainly don't want to pass any EditPart/EditPolicy references to this
class.
I am stuck and can't figure out how I can get this thing working.

I resorted to the StatusLine for displaying the reasons for errors. I
wanted to use the little line at the bottom for a long time. ;-)
